Ask BB: Coated Denim on a Budget

I have been looking all over for some leather-like coated denim that's less than $100. All of my go to places either don't have them or they're over $200, or right at it. Here are some styles I'm looking for… —Leah




7 For All Mankind Black Coated Jeans, $189; Rich & Skinny Jeans in Marsh Croc, $209; 7 For All Mankind Skinny Jeans in Burgundy Snake, $259

I'm a big fan of inexpensive jeans and luckily all the latest denim trends can be found at every price point this season!

Coated black jeans give the look of leather with the comfort and versatility of denim. The vibe may seem edgy at first but lots of stores that typically stock more classic clothes are showing coated denim for fall because they're a great update to the usual black pant, and easy to dress up for the holiday season. Check LOFT, The Limited and New York & Co. to find black coated denim under $80 (less if you wait for a sale and/or use a coupon):


For your more unique patterns and finishes, like colored metallics and snakeskin prints, head to your favorite fast-fashion chain like Charlotte Russe, Forever 21 or Urban Outfitters. Target, H&M and Express also have lots of unique denim options right now. Here are a few under $50 (and why pay more on a trend that might be "out" next year?):



Finally (and I've saved the best for last!), check out the Rock & Republic line at Kohl's. This brand is now sold exclusively at Kohl's and retains most (if not all) of its previous designer-denim cred. For fall, they've got an amazing selection of unique denim finishes like burgundy coated, snakeskin and metallics. Kohl's always has a sale going on and you can usually find coupons, too.



Are you a fan of this season's unique denim looks? Where have you found yours? Let Leah know in the comments!

Got a pair of black coated skinnies at Target last week. Only $18 and they fit like a glove!
